II Kings 12:3 But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

Places, to the true God, but contrary to his law. The king was deterred from overturning these altars, through human policy; which did not meet with the divine approbation. (Calmet) See 3 Kings 22:24., and Deuteronomy 12:8.
